How many hours does it take to meal prep a week’s worth of dinner? One-half. By all means, spend your entire Sunday sweating over an oven, setting up your snacks and separating it all into storage containers. Or, spare a half-hour to make these turkey-zucchini meatballs – your workweek self will thank you for it. The 15 minutes it takes them to bake is plenty of time to toss a salad and cook some quinoa spaghetti. Hopefully, you’ve made other plans for Sunday.
